Gentle Tooth Extractions in Fremont, CA

Not here at StarBrite Dental! Our team makes sure you are completely numb before starting, so you will not feel anything during the procedure. You might feel some light pressure, but our goal is to keep you as comfortable as possible from start to finish.

Sometimes, teeth have to be removed because they are damaged beyond repair due to decay, trauma, or even infection. Other times, we might need to remove teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment or to prevent wisdom teeth from causing trouble. Drs. Lokhandwala and Tariq will explain exactly why an extraction is needed in your case.

If wisdom teeth are impacted and haven’t come through the gumline, surgical extraction is needed to access the bone underneath the gum tissues. This is a more invasive tooth extraction procedure. However, if the wisdom tooth is above the gumline, simple extraction can be performed in just minutes.

We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions, but the basics involve taking it easy, keeping the treatment area clean, and using ice packs to reduce swelling. Also, avoid drinking through a straw, as this will disrupt the healing process by causing a dry socket.

Recovery time varies greatly depending on the actual complexity of the extraction, but most of our patients start feeling back to normal within a week. For wisdom teeth, it might take a little longer. We will monitor your healing to ensure everything’s on track.

That depends on your specific case. If it’s a wisdom tooth, nothing needs to be replaced. For other teeth, we might recommend options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures to maintain your smile and oral health.

Because we care! Dr. Lokhandwala and Tariq bring years of expertise, a patient-first approach, and a welcoming environment to every visit. We are proud to be situated in Fremont, California, a community we deeply cherish and serve. Ensuring your comfort remains our utmost priority.
